Takara Tomy announced its latest Animal Crossing: New Horizons capsule toy is a set of watches that will appear in gashapon machines. They will start rolling out in Japan this week. Each try will cost 400円 (~$2.60), and you’ll get one watch randomly per pull.

There are five watches in this set, and each one is based on certain NPC characters who appear in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. All of them are digital watches, with a cover that features an insignia with imagery tied to the characters they represent. The watchband is apparently about nine inches long (23cm). 

Here’s the list of characters who appear:

  • Able Sisters Mabel, Sable, and Label
  • Blathers and Celeste
  • Isabelle
  • K.K. Slider
  • Tom Nook with Timmy and Tommy

There’s also an official photo that shows all five of the designs. You can see that below:

This is the second recent piece of Animal Crossing: New Horizons merchandise to appear in the last few months. Back in November 2025, Re-Ment released a set of Happy Room dioramas based on the game. More recently, the aquarium event will return to Japan and the US in 2026. 

The Animal Crossing: New Horizons watches will appear in gashapon machines in Japan as a capsule toy starting the week of February 23, 2026, and the game is available on both the Switch and Switch 2.
